Here’s a great selection of Comic Relief pictures from in and around Portsmouth during the noughties. Whether it’s headteachers getting gunged, pub managers being locked in a cage for 24 hours, or fitness endurance tasks, there are plenty of shots to raise a smile.
And there also a fair few pictures of the Royal Navy doing its bit for charity. So while the country prepares for one of its regular fundraising bonanzas tonight, feel free to settle down and turn the clock back 20 years with our gallery. See if you can spot anyone you recognise.
